There are more participants rowing on a particular day, though.

At least three boats of 9 and at least one of 5. That's 32 rowers and coxswains. I don't think that many play soccer on game day. Amirite?

I have less than no idea how any sport's limit is determined. I do know that football went through a series of reductions from basically unlimited down to 85 for D-1A.[Post edited by HowieT3 at 11/02/2017 12:36PM]
